Ok this got even weirder (and even more off-topic, sorry guys), but I just found the thanks button, of course you guys all must think I'm crazy because it's right down in the bottom by quote/multiquote/etc. However, in my defense, for whatever reason Chrome does not want to show that button, but IE does! WTF? (nevermind) I attached two screen shots of the exact same page. So knowing this I will now start thanking everyone. :-)

I guess Chrome users are not thankful people? ;-) Users who know XDA themes are...

*EDIT* - I had the XDA-classic "theme" on that apparently does not support the thanks button. XDA-2010 is much better.

Ya i have read , but the questions i asked is the points that i'm confusing about , that's why i posted , i really hope someone could answer to my Q because this is the very first time i'm going to flash a new rom , i must make full understand of it before i can proceed further ...

As of now I'm running cm6 rc4... the only difference with rc3 is that fm radio works but with volume control issue.

Dark Froyo remix update for cm6 doesn't work.....

It seems that rc4 is more stable and responsive than rc3.....

MZ is it possible to use the fmradio update in dexter rom to fix the fm volume control in this rom?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Hi,

What do you mean by "Camcorder doesn't work well"

Is it better than Dexter's one with khalpower's camera update ?

@abet1017 FM radio update in dexter's ROM doesn't work well, volume is too high even if you select lowest one.

Can i use milestone overclock to overclock this rom ? What is the maximum frequency i can get ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
Afaik you Can OC up to 1200ghz, but CM settings already has the option to OC.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nikctsh:
Thank you very much
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Keep in mind that if you overclock too much your battery will drain fast and will be hot.

I mean 1ghz is the highest to have a stable phone.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Nah not true I ran Khalpower's ROM's at 1200mhz for at least 6months with absolutely no issues and without a noticable battery drain.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
What vsel?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
He did and seemed go have great success too. Was getting good Quadrant scores too.

Do remember that if your vsels are too low, you'll get random reboots. I used to run 1100/74 and had reasonable heat and drain. Nothing too over the top and I would use my phone all day listening to music, MLB games or surfing here and there. The vesl is your sweet spot and you'll have to see what is best for you. I think you can go up in increments of 5, not sure though. A good default is 1000/66 ans step it up from there. Don't set on boot until you figure out what works.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Also, TI rates omap3440 at 800. So even Motorola's 720 is underclocked.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
yeah I am not suggesting it but I sure did and most of the time it was just cause I didn't pay much attention to changing it lol. But as Jp said 1200 is the limit. Only time I had an overheat issue is when I rolled over and fell asleep on top of my phone lmao! And if it had more battery drain it wasn't too noticable, I was still able to go all day at work. I was just saying it was stable enough to run at 1200

***Here is one of my highest I have been over 1600 before
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nikctsh:
I'm new to CM6 and never flash it b4. I wonder if i can straight away flash this (update-cm-6.3.0-RC3-MilestoneXT720-signed.zip) or i've to flash (update-cm-6.1.2-0.10-XT720-signed.zip) first ? And then what about (update-cm-6.1.2-0.10-XT720-hotfix6.zip) ?

I ask because I noticed that cm-6.1.2 has a bigger file size than cm6.3.0 rc3 .

Can someone tell me step by step on which i have to flash first ? (*newbie and never flash cm6 on my phone)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c_urbanek:
don't bother with CM6... the CM7 Chronos X is just about perfect!

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nikctsh:
Sorry , where can i get open recovery.apk ? There is no link for it in this thread :confused:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Brianlili has it in his download for Bravo 2.2 v1.7 use that one then you can extract the one Mz developed here for extra utilities
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ltwvince:
+1. This CM6 is perfect for me. I even have chrooted Debian 6 with LXDE running on it. :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] S7icky:
how you do that?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nikctsh:
Thanks ! But anyway , i found another open recovery app here , is it usable and does it compatible with that of Mz mod from the link you provided ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
You can use it to install the Open Recovery exploit & then replace the /openrecovery folder & openrecovery.zip on your sdcard with the ones from Mioze's Open Recovery mod.

HTH
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] abet1017:
3rdstring, the dark froyo remix theme for cm6 rc4 works well... Thank you very much.

Hope that MZ will release tomorrow his new build...

To those waiting for the next CM6 build: in testing I'm finding that the latest build is having some stability problems. I'm going to have to work on it a little more. Sorry for the delay.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
No need to apologize to us Mz! We are all grateful no matter what and at your mercy Bud! lol. We know you are doing all that you can good buddy thanks for the update.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] thejaycan:
+1 to LM's comment! I will be happy to get it whenever you can deliver it. I've been working on testing stability of CM 6.3.0 with swap enabled. So far, I've found fjfalcon's original boot.img to work the best. Boot5.img and boot3.img keep on giving me random freezes. Funny cuz boot5 was working the best in CM7. Anywho, just my $0.02.

Next, I may try some of Woodrube's build prop tweaks in 6.3.0, but it depends on free time. ugh...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
What are change in new build ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] molohov:
Read Mioze's github, all the changes are described there. :)

battery calibration

Is it necessary to calibrate the battery after the flash ?

As i know , xt720 battery is type of li-ion battery . If i used battery calibration , what is the correct step ? I don't think that charge to 100% then calibrate it will do the work because i tried it before and after calibrate for about 5 minutes , the system does not regenerate batterystat.bin . Only after a reboot then the file will regenerate :(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
There's threads all over XDA and threads in this forum. After you charge to 100% you drain the battery then recharge fully without interruption
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
Here is a thread on Battery Calibration with why and how.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1219189&highlight=battery
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] AuroEdge:
If you charge your phone with it powered off you shouldn't need to calibrate, right?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
You can use root explorer and delete the /data/system/batterystats.bin file and then charge with the phone off if you want (app does this essentially).

The new stats will be created on boot or shortly (3-5sec) after unplug if still plugged in. Either way, you need to get rid of that file, fully discharge (I NEVER go below 15-20% b/c of the Motorola curse-may not reboot, Search B_E_N's thread) and fully recharge.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nikctsh:
Thanks . My phone used to show around 4155 for every full charge , and my phone won't regenerate a new batterystat.bin after calibrated if i don't reboot , that is quite depressing ... anyway , that thread is really useful !
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
patiently waiting for new release mio :) but take as much time as you need though!

hopefully all fixes we have so far for cm7 can be included in your cm6? like fm radio/gallery button/rotation sensors and so on?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Rotation is broken here?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
hm, I'm not sure anymore, it's been a long time since I used this ROM..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
You can use the milestone open recovery with uk sbf.

Just leting you.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nikctsh:
oh...blur again...what is sbf firmwares ? Is that i need to (flash?) the firmware here after i flash CM6 ? Now i'm using asia version of xt720 (bought from singapore) , Knoedelkopf mentioned about broken rotation issue , due to firmware problem ? I don't even know about how to (flash?) it . And then what about fastboot kernel . If i flash cm6 without touching the sbf firmware and fastboot kernel , will this cause any problem such as broken rotation ? Can i use cm6 normally ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kinox:
Rotation is working perfectly for me on RC3. No problem at all. Just want to confirm that.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] thejaycan:
First you'll want to confirm which phone you have. The Motoroi and Milestone XT720 look exactly alike but differ in sensors (which could explain the broken rotation issue). Since you say it's an asia version it could be either, but also since it's from Singapore it's likely a Milestone XT720, but you'll want to confirm. There is a sticker underneath the battery on your phone. What is the model # and the S/W string?

If you do have an Milestone XT720 then you can flash your firmware for whatever region you are in (your profile doesn't list this) and then you'll have to root and install open recovery. Afterwards you can flash the CM6 update. Please see the awesome videos by Reverend Kyle Jr, who's now back from his hiatus. :-)

As far as the rotation goes, I've never had a problem with rotation on this ROM. With the fastboot kernel, the rotation still works fine. I've had some intermittent lock ups using the fastboot kernel with swap, but I've found the original boot.img to work best.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nikctsh:
Thanks ! Really helpful , especially the video link , useful for newbie like me . So , I'm pretty sure I'm have a milestone xt720 , purely a singapore version , here's my S/W version : STR_U2_01.1E.2 . So , since now I'm already in stock rom , i does not need to flash the sbf before flash cm6 and for every update , i don't have to touch it as well right ? By the way , I wish to do more multitasking and then I'm have an intention of using swap as well , so i can just follow the tutorial here using boot.img ? Now my sdcard has a sdext2 partition , do i have to make another partition for swap ? What is the recommended size use for swap ? Then for every normal reboot , I've to do the same thing as the video above or is that I'm already ready for swap ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] thejaycan:
Yup, with that S/W version, I believe you have a Milestone XT720. So you didn't say where you are located. I think wherever you are, the firmware you have will be fine, but if you are in US you might want to consider flashing to a US ROM and/or update your baseband for US. There were some random reports in the past of peeps getting better signal strength with a local baseband. (I believe MZ has a post about the basebands). That aside, since you have the stock rom you are ready to flash to CM6. If you want to use swap then you will have to add a swap partition (the Rev's also got a great video on that) I'm using a swap partition of 130MB, but really I don't think I've seen the phone use any more than ~40MB, so perhaps 64MB is a good size, although I think there is alot of debate about the best size. The link you included is the one you'll want to activate the fastboot kernel after you've created your swap partition. You will have to boot into the fast boot kernel every time you want to use swap (every reboot), it's a little annoying, but MZ has created a slick feature so that you can hold the down-volume button while booting to quickly get to the fastboot prompt, you'll have that feature after following the Rev's CM6.3 video. But it looks like you're ready to take the plunge. Good luck!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nikctsh:
Again , very much thanks for your help ! Now since every tutorial is ready , I'm really eager about flashing my xt720 and bring a new life to it :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
If you use MZ's open recovery, it has the ability to flash the basebands within it. Under Utilities, I think maybe. It is in there though, but it is kind of a set it for you region type of thing and that is really it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nikctsh:
Finally flashed this rom. Thanks Mioze! This rom is awesome! I never have 170mb memory before ! But when I use link2sd , the lib file got unlink after each reboot. Any solution? And How can I update the current market to a newer version?

Edit : Installed market 3.3.12 and the new market just works like charm ! Great compatible with this rom . But the link2sd issue still haven't resolved
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] eejin2:
new version coming up?

@MZ hows the development of the next version coming up? ive been rather busy with school work so i stayed on 2.1 but i'll be flashing cm6 once the next build goes up. btw, are you including the crt screen off animations?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nikctsh:
Just yesterday link2sd works all fine ( except for the lib file issue ) , but now doesn't work at all . When I try to link an app , it will keep on showing the progress bar of "creating link" , but it will never get linked ! So , I force close link2sd then the phone just got hang . After reboot , the app either disappear , encounter force close or remain unlink . I wonder if this is the sdext2 error , so i save a diagnosis through OR , it is stated that "not clean with error" for my partition . I'm not sure what it means actually , hope someone could interpret for me .

View attachment sdcard-info.txt
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
This means that there is an error in your ext partition on your sdcard. Try running "Scan ext partition for errors" in the OpenRecovery sdutils and check the sdcard-info.txt after ("Scan ext partition for errors" is more aggressive at repairs than the scan that is done automatically each reboot). If it still says "not clean with error" then you either need to put the sdcard directly into a linux computer and run e2fsck, or if you're ok with a chance of data loss, can use nandroid to backup and restore the "SD Data" partition (this will create a tar, reformat /sd-ext to ext2 and then restore the tar).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Hi

We need to get sensors working from uk sbf performance is much than are regular sbf.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Yup. I'm still researching that one. Just to clarify for others that might not understand what we're talking about: brianlili showed us a modified sbf that has a vulnerable recovery, 256mb /data partition and the UK kernel (I don't know the full story about the sbf but dateno1's fingerprints are on it so maybe he knows more). The only problem is that for some reason the rotation sensor is off by 90 degrees. I've managed to fix that for a private build of fjfalcon's CM7, but I haven't figured out how to fix that for any of the froyo's yet.

Just applied hotfix 4, seems to break my native App2FAT. Rolling back
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Confirmed. I didn't check it earlier... I think I probably forgot to insmod some modules needed for that.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Hotfix 5 : fix app2fat

Modules needed by app2fat got left out when I merged with milaq's init.rc's (forgot A853 has 2.6.32).

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16249056&postcount=34

Edit: Looks like re-adding those modules makes a "forget" and reconnect necessary again for wireless connections. Probably because more secure storage becomes available. So, if your wifi stops, "forget" the network and reconnect.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I just removed hotfix5. It broke wifi again. At least I have a culprit.

Ok, I think I added the modules in the wrong order. It seems to be working now, but I'm going to wait a few minutes to make sure before I upload hotfix6
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
My latest adventure with this rom has been that it reboots every time i try to install an app. Obviously, since the first thing the market does is try to update gmail, youtube, etc... my phone loads up and then goes through a series of reboots. I flashed the cbw rom and tried again... no difference. I am wondering if this is a result of being on the singapore sbf? maybe I should rsd the cbw sbf and see if that resolves.

EDIT: since I know someone will ask, my sd card is formatted with fat32, then ext3, then a swap. I reformatted the whole thing with gparted prior to loading this rom the first time.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I never bothered with the sbf flash for the xda special as the only benefit I perceived was TV out through the headphone jack, that's something I'd never use anyway. I did however flash the boot image from Mioze7Ae's CB 2.1 stock nandroid before flashing CM6 & all seems good now (fingers crossed).

Edit: I also updated all my gapps via the Application management feature in AOR before first boot.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
hotfix6 released

I've released hotfix6. Wifi seems to be behaving again for me and I can move apps to FAT.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] easye420:
Hey Rev, try booting without sdcard in and it should boot, then cancel all the downloads on the market and see if that helps. thats wat i had to do

and on another note, can anyone download more than one app at a time, i can only download one no matter how many i click, they have to wait in line to start downloading, and the next wont start until the previous one starts installing
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Hi are you talking about the market or other.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ktylife:
Same problem here,
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Did you have /sdcard/.android_secure hidden directories? If so, try renaming (or deleting) them and reboot (or as a last resort backup and reformat your fat partition and then try with only the openrecovery stuff). But that problem usually doesn't cause reboots as I recall, only failed installs.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
I reflashed back to original cbw sbf, then I loaded cbw froyo, THEN i loaded cyanogenmod. I also repartitioned my sdcard to only have one fat32 partition and that's it. Now, everything seems to be groovy, except I can't install paid apps from the market. I'm still working on that. As far as loading one app at a time, I also have that issue.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
Weird i don t have this problem at all.... I had 7 apps downloading in the same time and no problem (:eek:)

One time it make me another weird problem It duplicate some of my apps which appear and download twice but after the installation everything come back to normal

Maybe it s an hotfix4 or 5 issue cause i m still with the hotfix3... I don t want to mess up only to update milestone overclock.

Someone succeed in updating the market???? My apk and updates don t work...

Any link?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ktylife:
Hotfix6 fixed link2sd.

Everything rocks !

There is a strange thing though with the battery management/monitor. It can suck the battery badly in no time, and/or it has an issue charging the battery (also very hot while charging...), and/or it has an issue reporting the correct battery level...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
!I did not expect that! Link2SD must be smarter than it used to be. Sweet! Are you using a second FAT partition?

Does doing battery calibration help?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ktylife:
Second partition is ext3. ;)

Will try to do a battery calibration.

Btw, I activated the "long press on return key kills app", but it actually kills it in half a second, so it is quite annoying... I can't find where to disable the option again :D:confused:

Hi

Okay I guess I should have checked what was in the bootfix.

Uk sbf sensors fixed just remove t and all works now.

This is xt720 mod sbf.

Internal storage up 256 mb.

Its has own recovery.

It also performance is much better than are stock sbf.

Moize it might be time to post link

You can even flash clockmod rom manager.

Bootfix would be easy way to fix on our cm7 and on J.Y.Daddy cm7 and miui ics.

I really wonder if the xt720mod sbf how secure the bootloader is looking for flashable kernel.

The issue is I'm running miui ics Android 4.01.
